Upon Vestia: Chapter Thirty
First topic message reminder :
Skye nodded and smiled a little "It's a little scary though, when you only see your own kind then see a city with the others."

Starr nodded again "You were not there for the war." It was a simple statement for her. "We might have sent you off with the kids if you had been, there are times when you can't run or hide, so must fight."

(ahahahahaha yes, I think I mentioned this once... or maybe I didn't. She and Ivor have a magic thing that means they aren't naked when they shift. I think Hytar got sick of naked people lol, particularly naked Silence as she gives zero shits about being nude. Assume she is wearing clothes, even if she probably would rather not be.)

Moriah sighed. "I don't like believing that violence would ever be the only way. The Family sounded awful though." She shook her head, "I suppose you would have chosen diplomacy if that was an option." She thought Starr seemed sensible, and not overly bloodthirsty. Starr just didn't strike her as being a violent killer.

(Oh yeah, that does ring a bell, haha. I wasn't sure, so it was definitely worth clarifying. :P )
Ethan looked at her fingers curiously. "I guess that does make sense that pure shifters would be better at copying all the details than hybrids. Are you good at picking things up?" Using thumbs had to take some practice for a girl who was used to long talons, he guessed.
He shot Hewitt a glare at the guy's laughter, humph.

Silence shrugged. "Don't usually use this shape." She looked down at herself disdainfully. "prefer wings."
"Wings?" Hewitt asked, curious.
Silence nodded. "Wings, like bird." She tugged irritably at the sleeve of her loose, rather shapeless smock.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Thirty
"Can you fly?" Ethan asked her. He'd spent a lot of time around Kaylr and knew the guy had grown up alongside shifters, but he'd mostly avoided asking him questions. So he really didn't know that much about the abilities of pure shifters.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Thirty
"I would have." Starr agreed then sighed "They were only wanting us dead or as slaves." She moved her wings, not liking thinking of the Family, though they were not so much of a threat now.Kooshie wrote:Moriah sighed. "I don't like believing that violence would ever be the only way.

Moriah nodded. "They sound almost more like monsters than people," she said softly. "Would you rather talk about something else? They must be awful to remember."

"They are, and yes, please." Starr said, giving her a smile. She had spoken of it this long so that Moriah would hopefully understand better.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Thirty
It was easier for Moriah to consider the possibility that pacifism might not always be the answer when Starr talked about it. With Esk she had just kind of shut down and refused to accept that he might have a point, but Starr was much less abrasive and that made her easier to understand.
She still thought she'd rather die than hurt someone, though.
"How about we talk about... music?" She asked, looking to the stage where Matt, Ellie, and James were still performing. "Do you have any genres you like?"

"I like country" Starr said with a chuckle. "I can listen to many genres, but I like country best. What about you?"

"I like electronic music," Moriah said, smiling shyly, "It's not just because I'm a robot, really." She glanced to the stage again, "Maybe you should request a song from them, or sing along. Matt seems to know a lot."

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Thirty
Silence shrugged again. "learning." She tilted her head, thinking. "Brother says I learn fast. Wishes he could fly, never will." She shook her head. "Already could use wings to jump higher, used to heights. Gliding not so hard."
"Why birds?" Hewitt asked.
Again Silence shrugged "Can just fly away."
Hewitt chuckled. "Well I suppose i've heard worse reasons."
"You glide?" Silence asked.
Hewitt nodded "I suppose I could. Aketi don't really use our wings once we leave the trees, we get a little too heavy and have better things to do than jump off treetops." He chuckled.
"jumping fun." Silence told him matter of factly. She looked back at Ethan. "Have to learn abilities of new forms, fight instinct. " She sounded like she was remembering being told this specifically rather than really explaining it.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Thirty
"Learning to use a new shape must be fucking bizarre," Ethan said. "Guess having wings in your natural form must help, but still, not being a spiky cat changes things. Do you miss the spikes when you're in a bird shape?" He looked at Hewitt, "I have a hard time imagining you ever jumping from a tree."

Starr nodded with a smile and headed over to see if Matt knew any country genre songs she could sing along to.

Moriah didn't know much country music, but she tagged along too, because it might be fun.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Thirty
Hewitt grinned "You can't imagine me as a sapling? I'll take that as a compliment."
"can't fly in natural form, only jump... flutter jump." Silence nodded. "mostly climb." it was what the claws were for after all. "new shapes... strange. Disorienting." She managed a strange smile. "bird still has claws."

Matt stopped what he was doing to listen to Starr. "What's up?" He asked.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Thirty
Ethan smiled oddly at Hewitt, "Or it could just be that I haven't met enough saplings to imagine you as one. No frame of reference. But you can take it as a compliment I guess." He looked amused at the idea of Silence flutter-jumping, it sounded far too innocent and frolicky for such an intimidating creature."Do you ever get confused and start trying to climb things as a bird?"

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Thirty
Silence considered that, looking thoughtful. "takes time to get used to missing limbs." She nodded. "no arms as bird, no wings in this form, or tail." She made a face. "Weird."

"I can imagine," Ethan said. "Sort of. It's not like I've ever shapeshifted, or even physically changed, so it's outside my experience. But it sounds like it would be a pain to figure out."

Silence nodded. "Mother says now should learn, keep safe." She sighed. "so much to learn." And unlearn too, it was difficult.

"Sensible lady, your mother. If you can figure out how to hide, you should," Ethan said. "Can you fight?" he asked.

Silence shrugged. "Can bite, can claw, can scream." She meant telepathically.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Thirty
"And what more does anyone need than that," Ethan said dryly. He did actually believe that though; biting, screaming, and clawing with razor-sharp talons were pretty effective ways to make the average bad person decide to find another target. "Hewitt's strategy is just to walk toward the bad guys and let them shoot at him, it scares them shitless when he doesn't die."

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Thirty
Hewitt cackled. "Those bastards had no idea what was going on."
"Not die?" Silence tilted her head.
"Of course not, i'm not as fragile as you... meat creatures" Hewitt sniffed.
"Plants not hard to kill." Silence mused.
Hewitt narrowed his eyes.

"Plants are highly bullet-resistant, apparently," Ethan said. "No centralized nervous system, I think it was. He complains about his leaves wilting a lot, but he doesn't mind bullets all that much." He nodded.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter Thirty
Silence nodded slowly. "Fire."
Hewitt practically bristled. "i think you'll find most things are susceptible to fire."
Silence looked amused. "Doesn't like feeling vulnerable."
"Who does?" Hewitt countered haughtily.
"Funny old man." Silence smiled a weird not quite authentic smile.
